Thematic Area: Health and Physical Activity PREVIOUS AND POTENTIAL USE OF INERTIAL SENSORS IN LONGITUDINAL RUNNING GAIT ANALYSIS – LINKS WITH RUNNING RELATED INJURY

As distance running continues to increase in popularity, so too does the number of people suffering from Running Related Injuries (RRI) (Abt et al. 2011). While identification of parameters related to RRI have commonly been identified in laboratory settings, ecologically sound testing methods are required in applied research. As inertial sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and combine
